Spanish nationality by origin

Biometric Spanish passportThe Spanish legislation regarding nationality establishes two types of nationality: "Spanish nationality by origin" (nacionalidad española de origen, in Spanish)—that is, a "natural-born Spaniard"—and the "Spanish nationality not by origin" (nacionalidad española no de origen in Spanish).

According to the 17th article of the Spanish Civil Code, Spaniards by origin are:[4]

those individuals born of a Spanish parent;
those individuals born in Spain of foreign parents if at least one of the parents was also born in Spain, with the exception of children of foreign diplomatic or consular officers accredited in Spain;
those individuals born in Spain of foreign parents if neither of them have a nationality, or if the legislation of either parent's home country does not grant the child any nationality; [i][/i]those individuals born in Spain of undetermined filiation; those individuals whose first known territory of residence is Spain, are considered born in Spain.
Foreigners under 18 years of age adopted by a Spanish national acquire, from the moment of adoption, the Spanish nationality by origin.[5] If the adoptee is 18 years or older, he or she can apply (lit. "opt for" the Spanish nationality by origin within two years after the adoption took place.[5]

All other individuals that acquire the Spanish nationality, other than by which is specified above, are "Spaniards not by origin".

Please what does the above bold quotation mean?

Hello All,

Thank you for your immense contributions on my issue. i guess the bottom line is 50-50 chances. I will take time and decide the way forward. left for me alone, I would not mind not applying there again but i would not want my wife and baby to loose their chances because of my past misdeed.

Really appreciate NL. Great people here. Thank you all once again.

Hello Everyone. i am really amazed at the huge contributions I have been reading here since I was introduced to nairaland.

In the year 2002, an uncle of mine in trying to assist me out of my jobless & broke state then, contacted a travel agent who assured us that he can help me get to the US for a fee. We were both convinced he could do it when we saw other people he had helped.

He provided documents (work, bank staements, invitation letter etc.) for me and gave me a date of birth which I used in preparing my international passport, unfortunately i was refused the visa for false documentation.

Now I am interested in going to US and fortunately, my current status has changed from a job seeking guy back then to a middle management staff in a very promising company.

My fears now are that the US would use the false information i submitted then (8 years ago) to refuse me again as my full names are the still the same, my date of birth only change in the year of birth (the agent advised us then to use an older age so as to march my false job position), my birth month and day remains the same.

I have a new passport now with my real information and have visited the UK twice lately with it, but am afraid of submitting it to the US because of my fears that they might refuse me and worst still my wife (who has never applied to them before but would jointly apply with me as her sponsor) because of this incident in my past.

because of this i have been shying away from applying for US visa. All this happened before they started finger printing.

This is my first post here and I would greatly appreciate sincere advise from experienced people here on what to do.
